Even more little rogues! I’ll have to start charging rent. #pnw #wildlife #deer #snow

Interesting, the "reflective" nature #AI can develop over time with your communication characteristics. Here's an example, if you're interested, in a little chat I had today about robot vacuum names and older/newer models that made me really smile. mark.orbum.net/s/an-homage-...

Surprisingly delicious 😋 #crass #humor

Very weird - a perfectly semi-circular cut beneath my left upper trap. A Cheshire Cat bite? A GPS-wielding insect with a continuous bite track? Mysterious.

the enemy convenient, the automatic arrangements that leave us detached from the consequential details of the Other which is who we both are #poetry

I had to look up what "bougie" meant. I've never used slang, even when buried in the popular context of its creation. But I've always pretty much known what it meant. Until today. This feels like a milestone. 😄

It's too many words to put here, but I threw out some quick thoughts on the "Iran stuff" and religion in general, and its place in government. #religion #politics mark.orbum.net/s/islam-chri...

Good and unsettling insights into the Pentagon's take on AI for war, and commercial/scientific interest. #AI #war www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Fascinating discussion of COVID brain effects, including the brain stem, where autonomic stuff like breathing is controlled. #covid www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

As an American of Norwegian heritage, I can’t say I’m bothered by this chart. #norway #olympics

I live in the south #Seattle suburbs. This little one has a mom nearby too. Gotta watch it leap at the end 😄 #pnw

The only phone number I can remember now, other than my own, is 867-5309 #music

Well, judging by the explosion noise level outside rivaling the 4th of July and all the bright flashes in the sky, I’d guess the #Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Honestly, it IS nice the sense of common community it brings to people across divides; a rarity of fresh altitude lately.

Get your Tdap vaccine (and booster if it’s been a while) and you can stab yourself all day with dirty exacto knives and not have to worry about tetanus! #vaccines

Nothing wrong with orbital artificial intelligence brains with unlimited energy beaming down from millions of satellites floating over our heads. #ai #space www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Funny, a customer from ages ago called me at 11pm to get help with a computer problem. I’ve been trying to get rid of customers for years. He’s my last one left. It’s still nice though. And terrible. 😄 #IT #business

It’s a nice day out the osteopath’s window today, waiting for some deep back and shoulder work. Cold, but nice. #pnw #blue

24°F (-4.4°C) outside, when I want 70°F (21°C) inside, means the boiler makes it 80°F (26.7°C) in the basement where I work out. Good for yoga at least. Sorta. And I have 2 humidifiers running full blast too, just to try keeping it in the 30% range. 🥵 At least it’s a dry heat. 😄 #pnw

It may be French, but it’s nice. Pretty expressive for an instrument incapable of getting louder or softer as you play. It’s done in the timing. #music #classical youtu.be/M33mfhQUJnM?...

All the explosions outside shaking the house tonight. I guess either the Seahawks won something or Greenland is attacking. #greenland #football

The first flower ever grown in space was a zinnia, 10 years ago, today. 🥰 #space #gardening www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

On this day in 2019, planet Gonggong was discovered. Well, its discovery was ANNOUNCED on this day. Discovered a couple years earlier. It’s in our solar system. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonggon...

It’s so very sad. Maybe if they made a trillion dollar sacrifice to Elon, he would smile upon them and fix it all. #tesla apnews.com/article/tesl...

Happy new year y’all. It’s gotta get better. #hapoynewyear #pnw

Today’s quote from #yoga Let everything go as your heart melts to the floor.

When it comes to major religions, the Grand Shapes remain, even with the details accessed and rationalized. Brahman (the dreamer) beyond all attributes, Ishvara with human attributes, and Shakti, the indwelling presence. Far more in common than different where it matters most. #religion #unity

On the walk back on a cold Christmas evening #pnw #moon

For your edification - from around the year 1700 #music youtu.be/XcsfDxojdV8?...

This year’s present to myself: a hand built #Dutch coffee maker (Techni Vorm). Downstairs has a small kitchen area where I make workout stuff, and a protein coffee is my reward after morning yoga. ☕️🧘‍♂️

It’s dark at 4 pm now. And an atmospheric river is drenching everything for days. Perfect long walk weather. #pnw #weather

now THIS is the REASON for the SEASON

how do I pin this to the front page of YouTube 🧐

Waiting at the oral surgeon’s for a tooth extraction. 😢 Possible dental implant. Not sure.

Deepening into winter, always a bit nice and sad #pnw #garden #moss

Completely mad 😵‍💫

Ok earlier I was corrected: these are not moonflowers. But they are flowers that bloom at night. And they are robust! Look at these little guys still going strong in such cold! #cold #bloomscrolling #pnw

Look what showed up on my porch. This is to power a generator to recharge the batteries that power the refrigerator and boiler water pump for heat during a power outage. Last year’s long, dangerously cold outage shouldn’t happen again. #winter #preparedness

A toy company whose BubblePlush Yoga Ball Buddies have been hit hard by tariffs is getting their day in the Supreme Court, claiming that Trump doesn't have the authority to implement tariffs. I LOVE that it's a company like them 😄 #uspol #tariffs www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I’ve kinda been offline a couple days and may have missed some good things 🫤 But here’s another shot of the front yard boundary from today, a sunnier day. #pnw #autumn

Boundary of the front yard. #pnw #autumn

Looking right and left off the deck today #pnw #autumn

I got an automated award. From my Apple Watch. 🦾⌚️ Closed all my rings 2,000 times. That’s about 5.5 years. Move, Exercise and Standing. I hardly even think about it any more, efficient means it’s been a great addition. #fitness

I have to say again, nutritional yeast is SO GOOD 😋

I love organic, emergent patterns 🧡 #pnw #autumn

My first ever childhood trauma was when a friend David told me Speed Racer visited his house, and he didn’t visit me. Little did I know what great foreshadowing this would be. 😄 #trauma #fantasy

Appointments, fixed space-time coordinates, always cause me stress since I’m untethered from clocks. Today’s was a dentist, where I was to get a crown replaced. I arrived, and they cancelled, because their “suction” machine was broken. So I get to repeat it all next week, hopefully with suction.

The main road, where I drag my garbage and recycling once per week. Very calm today. #pnw #silentsunday
